Continuous delivery
Use your own tool chain and commit your code to popular source control systems such as Visual Studio Team System, GitHub and Bitbucket, then automatically publish your code to Azure.
Broader reach
Increase your interactions and reach more customers from your website or app to email, GroupMe, Facebook Messenger, Kik, Skype, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, text/SMS and Twilio.
Boosted bot intelligence
Add intelligence to your bots with a few lines of code. Add Cognitive Services to enable your bots to see, hear, interpret and interact in more human ways. Developers can connect to other Azure services to enrich their bots. For example, use Azure Search to create sophisticated search capabilities for your bots.

Operational agility
Scale up or down on demand. As your bots grow in popularity, you only pay for what you use. You don't have to reserve resources, and you’re only charged for the number of executions and resources that you consume.
